I have seen several letters to the editor regarding illegal aliens. Here's the point most people seem to forget. Illegal means unlawful and is used to describe something that is prohibited or not authorized by law.
I read the May 30 letter to the editor from Ted Hess requesting the Post Independent to correct false information. Mr. Hess stated that undocumented workers do not receive food stamps or assistance.
An illegal alien has already broken the law. They are illegal; they also sometimes commit other illegal acts, such as using false Social Security numbers and identification, and many times steal the identity of others, thus allowing them the ability to seek government assistance.
Those who think it doesn't happen have a very closed mind to the rationale of our country today. What part of illegal is not understood?
If by chance I ever were to become unemployed, would I have the right to commit a crime, to steal and rob and do whatever I want for my family and me to survive, because I would only be trying to live a better life?
We have laws for a reason. The law is a system of rules and guidelines that are enforced through social institutions to govern behavior. Laws are made by governments, specifically by their parliaments. The formation of laws themselves is influenced by a constitution and the rights encoded therein.
The law shapes politics, economics and society in countless ways and serves as a social mediator of relations between people. The law is in place to protect our country and our citizens so we don't bankrupt our great country.
Americans continue to suffer every day due to the amount of illegal immigration that sucks the money and resources from our country and pushes our country into further economic distress.
